“We look forward to
bringing our unique brand of Latin Jazz to the Viper Room. We have a
great show and a fantastic band composed of musicians who’ve played with
greats like Ray Charles. We just hope to have enough room so people can
dance” said Paris Escovedo from his recording studio in Los Angeles.
Paris
is the son of Thomas “Coke” Escovedo an original member of Santana.
Coke Escovedo’s musical legacy influenced luminaries such as Tito
Puente, Celia Cruz, Stevie Wonder and Herbie Hancock. He founded and
performed in top-charting groups such as Malo and Azteca before his
untimely death in 1986. Paris’ uncle is Pete Escovedo, (Santana) and is
cousin to Sheila E. (Santana, Prince) He has performed, toured and
recorded with Arrested Development, Angie Stone, Pink, Collective Soul,
and Malo.
The highly anticipated debut album from the next
generation of Latin Jazz, The Paris Escovedo Project, is a trend setting
global blend of Latin, Jazz, R & B, and Old School. The 10 piece
band is composed of seasoned professionals from different genres of
music. The Project is currently releasing their single “Latin Lady” on
Universal Records and a music video of the same title.
Paris’s
current projects includes a smooth jazz version of his father’s penned
Santana hit “No One to Depend On.” He recently performed at the Victor
Pantoja tribute with his uncle Pete Escovedo and cousin Sheila E. as
part of a proud audience.
